Previous research shows that dyslexic readers are impaired in their recognition of faces and
other complex objects, and show hypoactivation in ventral visual stream regions that support …

Figure 1| The visual attention span task. Variations on the visual attention span task using
alpha‑numeric stimuli (parts aand b) and dots (part c) are shown. Compared with 10‑year …

Previous research suggests that individuals with developmental dyslexia perform below
typical readers on non-linguistic cognitive tasks involving the learning and encoding of …

One important aspect of human cognition involves the learning of structured information
encountered in our environment, a phenomenon known as statistical learning. A growing …

The visual attention (VA) span deficit hypothesis of developmental dyslexia posits that
impaired multiple element processing can be responsible for poor reading outcomes. In VA …

Visual‐attentional theories of dyslexia predict deficits for dyslexic children not only for the
perception of letter strings but also for non‐alphanumeric symbol strings. This prediction was …

The noisy computation hypothesis of developmental dyslexia (DD) is particularly appealing
because it can explain deficits across a variety of domains, such as temporal, auditory …

In her recent Opinion article (Sensory theories of developmental dyslexia: three challenges
for research. Nature Rev. Neurosci. 16, 43–54 (2015)) 1, Goswami argues that sensory …

The visual attention (VA) span is defined as the amount of distinct visual elements which can
be processed in parallel in a multi-element array. Both recent empirical data and theoretical …

The cognitive causes as well as the neurological and genetic basis of developmental
dyslexia, a complex disorder of written language acquisition, are intensely discussed with …
